Year 5/6 Rounders Tournament

Well done to the Year 5 and 6 rounders team who played their first friendly tournament this week. There were some super team and individual performances.

Big Bang @ Weston

On Friday 27th April, the school’s Science Ambassadors took an exciting trip on the train to

Weston-Super-Mare in order to compete in the Big Bang @ Weston science competition. Their challenge was to design and make a lunchbox using recycled materials, considering issues such as food miles, healthy diet and sustainability. The children then had to present their designs to a panel of judges. The children worked hard on their entries at a science after-school club and we are delighted that they were the chosen winners. They were presented their prize, a fabulous microscope, by the Mayor of Weston!

We then enjoyed the rest of the day exploring all of the other exciting exhibits.

Triumphant Winners!

EYFS and Key Stage One Maths & Movie Night

Thank you so much for attending our event last night. It was lovely to see so many parents come to the evening and the children had a lovely time watching their movie and eating popcorn!

We hope you found the evening informative and it gave you a real insight into how you can support your child at home.

Another successful Intrasports competition this term, this time based on netball activities throughout the school and brilliantly supported by our talented Young Leaders, well done. The winning team this term was the Yellow team (Mendips) congratulations to you all. We look forward to our Summer Intrasports hopefully in the sunshine this time.

Year 5/6 Basketball

We took two teams of 4 to Heathfield Community School for today's Mini Basketball tournament. All the lunchtime practising was clearly in evidence with some great team work, excellent shooting and passing. We had some convincing wins and the narrow losses weren't through lack of trying. Brilliant effort by all. Well done!

Many thanks to parents for their support, Dave Bullock, SASP and Heathfield School for hosting and providing the referees.

Year 1 and Year 2 visit Kenya 15.01.18

After fastening their seatbelts, Beech and Rowan classes "jetted" off to Kenya for the day. They then exchanged the plane for minibuses to go on a "virtual safari". After that they split into groups to complete four different activities. They made a Swahili dictionary and learned how to sing "Heads, shoulders, knees and toes' in Swahili as well as learning how to dance in a traditional African way. Next they carved animals out of soap to create their own version of a Kenyan soapstone sculpture. After that they cooked some traditional Kenyan foods: Ugali and fried bananas. The fried bananas sprinkled with sugar and nutmeg were very popular! Finally they played some African games including "Shisimba" (similar to noughts and crosses) as well as Jenga which takes its name from the Swahili word for "build".
